Can someone explain the difference here?

75/25 means one of two things: Either she's a phenomenal career politician with lots of kudos underneath her, or she's great at marketing herself and completely full of shit.

No, there's actually another meaning if you bother to even do a bare minimum of research. The district Greene represents has NEVER had a Democrat achieve over 30% of the vote.....in decades. So, the 75/25 split isn't anything unique to Greene, just the district itself being overwhelmingly conservative/Repub. And the split is typical of the voting results of that district and probably always will be.

You weren't lying.

It means that a Foghorn Leghorn could run as a Republicon candidate in that district and win with 75/25 vote outcome. You name the animal species and they’re the winner if they are from the Red team. George Washington or Abraham Lincoln would lose mightily if they were a Democrat running in that district.

I find it interesting that she was so keen on winning and getting into Congress that she changed to run in a district it would have been impossible for her to lose once out of the primary. Does not sound like a seasoned politician, but a scared wannabe, kind like her idol tRump. She even uses his school of promotion, no crazy idea is worth keeping to yourself. I guess it shows she is “real.”

^^^ I know a few areas like that. The candidate makes no difference. If AOC or Joe had run as an (R) there, they would have had the same numbers.

My axiom holds true to form. Right wing positions today rarely holdup to cross examination.

or it means that district always more or less votes the same way against the democrat.

Hell, there are quite a few districts across the U.S. in which the (R) or (D) next to the name is all that matters. Not the candidate, nothing but the party affiliation. Heck, in Greene's district, a decaying corpse labeled (R) could easily beat damned near anyone daring to put a (D) next to their name.
